Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of intestinal protozoan infections among children in Duhok Province, Iraq, from October 2022 to May 2023, involving 740 pediatric patients.
- A total of 205 children (27.7%) tested positive for infections, with the highest rates found in the 5-9 age group, and significant variations in prevalence noted among different age categories.
- The findings indicate that amoebiasis and cryptosporidiosis are more common than previously reported in Iraq, while giardiasis occurred at lower rates, highlighting the need for improved public health measures.
Objectives: This study compared the clinicopathological, immunohistochemical characteristics and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) detection of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) in the abdomen and jaw of Iraqi patients.
Methods: A cohort/retrospective study was carried out between August and September 2024 using 25 tissue blocks (14 gnathic and 11 abdominal BL) from the Oral and Maxillofacial Laboratory, University of Baghdad, College of Dentistry, and the National Centre for Educational Laboratories. The sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), while CD10, CD20, Bcl-2, BCl-6, C-Myc and Ki-67 markers were used for diagnosis.
Background: Intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) remains the primary treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR). Understanding adherence, safety concerns and sensory preferences is crucial for optimal care.
Objective: This review aims to determine medication adherence, sensory attributes and adverse effects of INCS in AR patients.
The Expressions of p16, HPV16-L1 and HPV18-E6 in Salivary Gland Tumours.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the development of salivary gland tumour (SGT) by evaluating the expression of p16 and the oncoproteins HPV16-L1 and HPV18-E6 using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Additionally, we assess the agreement between these oncoproteins and p16 in diagnosing HPV-infected SGT.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included all SGT cases undergoing surgical resection at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) and Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II (HRPZ) in Malaysia from April 2022 to April 2023.
Activated carbon (AC) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) composite were successfully prepared via mechanical mixing and exhibited a crushed snack-like morphology compared to the well-defined pore structure of pure AC. The purpose of this research was to explore the potential of AC/HAp for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye and hydrogen production. Despite the morphological changes, AC and AC/HAp achieved a high MB degradation rate (92.
